Fullsound™ to bring your MP3 music to life
Philips' innovative FullSound technology faithfully restores sonic details to compressed MP3 music, dramatically enriching and enhancing it, so you can experience CD music without any distortion. Based on an audio post-processing algorithm, FullSound combines Philips' renowned expertise in music reproduction with the power of the latest generation Digital Signal Processor (DSP). The result is fuller bass with more depth and impact, boosted voice and instrument clarity, and rich detail. Rediscover your compressed MP3 music in true-to-life sound that will touch your soul and move your feet.

Enjoy up to 25 hours of music or 5 hours of video playback
Philips offers you boundless entertainment. Your GoGEAR player comes with a compact built-in rechargeable battery for long-lasting power. Enjoy up to 25 hours of music, or 5 hours of video playback on a single charge. Just plug the power cable in to recharge the player – it's that simple.

Philips Songbird: one simple program to discover, play, sync
One simple, easy-to-use program that comes with your GoGear player, Philips Songbird lets you discover and play all your media, and sync it seamlessly with your Philips GoGear. Its intuitive and powerful music management features let you discover new artists and music styles directly in the program through music and media stores, services and websites. Play your own library and media from the internet and seamlessly sync all of it from your PC to your Philips GoGear.

LikeMusic for playlists of songs that sound great together
LikeMusic lets you experience more of the music that you like most – with just a click! No need to sort through your music library or wait for serendipity to strike. LikeMusic is a Philips patented algorithm that analyzes songs in your library to identify similar music characteristics. These characteristics help LikeMusic create smart playlists of songs that simply sound great together. Just click on a song that you like and hit the LikeMusic icon – a playlist will instantly appear. Give it a name and enjoy your new playlist – or rediscover songs – on your PC or your GoGear player.

Fast charge for 90-minute playback in just 5 minutes
Sometimes, you just need your GoGear player to take you from home to office and back again or for a short run – but you forgot to charge it last night. Say goodbye to frustration and boring, silent journeys with Fast Charge. Philips’ smart and convenient solution lets you plug your GoGear to your PC or USB charger for just 5 minutes and in return, you get a whopping 90 minutes of audio playback! Fast Charge works by relying on much higher current levels to give your lithium-ion battery the power it needs to tide you over in a jiffy … and keep the music going.

Easy and intuitive user interface with album art display
GoGear’s easy and intuitive user interface is powered by an advanced navigation technology. It not only helps to ensure quick and smooth navigation but also an enjoyable multimedia experience that doesn’t take long to master. Smart features like Album Art – which displays album artwork embedded in music files – enables you to have a richer experience, just like in the good old days when you would view the cover of a CD or LP while enjoying your music.

Folder view to organize and view media files like on your PC
Folder view is an optional directory view of the GoGear player that lets you view all the files on your player as if it were a computer. Once you select Folder view, opening any supported file (i.e. music, pictures or videos) is as easy as selecting the file and hitting Play.

Soft rubber earbuds for comfortable listening
Soft rubber earbuds let you enjoy your music in comfort. A soft rubber cap encapsulates each earbud, and gently adjusts to the shape and size of your ear. It provides a soft cushion that makes listening through painful headphones a thing of the past.

1.8" full color display for smooth and intuitive navigation
4.6 cm (1.8") full color screen allows you to navigate easily within the control menu or the music files of your GoGear player.
